Feels like home away from home even though it’s not the best room for the price you can’t go wrong.
Daniel
We traveled with a 3yr old & a 6yr old and we had a great experience.
We will definitely be back.
We will definitely be back.
Lindsay
The condo was spacious, clean and very comfortable. It is a little outdated, but great for the price. Parking was convenient. Cartel Coffee shop, restaraunts and a liqueur/corner market were in short walking distance (even in extreme heat), which was lovely.
The bedroom bed arrangements are not clear. I expected two twin beds in our second room based on the pictures, but it was not the case. We had to have someone who I promised a bed sleep on the couch. At least it was a comfortable couch:).
It was 116 degrees outside, and the pool was close to spa temperature. Our daughter was staying at a different condo, and her pool was much cooler on the same day. Maybe it is the size, but the pool was not refreshing. Half the pool seating had misters, which was helpful.

Cozy nice pool great location
Monica
Rooms are comfy and feels like a home with everything it comes with. The overall property needs upgrading like lounge chairs by the pool. But everyone is very nice. Works great for family with kids
Kimberly
Loved the price, check in was easy and Vivian was very accommodating too. I would recommend6h8s for anyone..
eleonora

Kimberly
I will come back. Home away from home.
Kimberly
I sm so happy I found this place. It is now on my favorite list. Thank you so much Vivian for making my stay feel welcome. The apartments is clean, roomy and I got the peace I was looking for. I walked by the pool area a few times, it was clean, I saw families engaging with the kid's in the pool, the kids were having so much fun swimming, playing music and they all looked so happy. Great place to visit with the kid's or just some R&R. I will be back. Hundred stars!!!
Kimberly Rogers
PS I loved my well equipped kitchen and parking is so easy and close to the apartments with easy access to the apartments.

Veronica
First time here but I wouldn't come back. The rooms were perfect but the pool atmosphere was not, there was a group of 15 people all adults drinking by the pool with huge glass bottles they were already very drunk some of them couldn't even walk and very loud music. It had gotten to the point that someone from their group went to the office to report a drunk guy from their group grapping another girls leg but the office was closed they had to ask someone to make him leave the pool. I was their with my kids in a family vacation so this kind of behavior was not appropriate for my kids.
Patrick
Good place to stay for a night, or perhaps a longer stay. Nice pool, large apartment with two bedrooms/two baths, kitchen, dining, living room.
Marci
Traveling for work with our family this place was an oasis! Fabulous 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment that was nicely stocked with cooking pots/pans/ dishes/ cutlery etc. Loves having a full size stove, fridge and even dish washer! Beds were comfy, ac worked great, living room was spacious and cozy. The neighborhood felt clean and safe which is a must when traveling with kids!!!!
We arrived late at night and thankfully I called ahead to get the lock box code for our key. Staff was warm friendly and super helpful.
Loved the warm pool, hot tub and grills which we used for bbqing ribs. Like that they have a ping pong table and also bikes to barrow.
Overall 10/10 stay. Quiet, peaceful yet met all of our needs. Will definitely come back

Enjoyed our stay. Went with family, 2 small kids, enjoyed the pool, room has everything you need. Will definately be going back.
Florence
Third time staying here and we found our best room! Rates were incredibly low bc it was off season and super hot (109). Check in is super easy — if you come after the office is closed, there’s a box with a lock outside and you call to get the code. The keys are inside an envelope with your name; very convenient. Property was immaculate. Pool was being cleaned every day we were there. Very nice office staff. Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need !
Leslie
I was very pleased with the space and the location. The apartment was clean and comfortable with a full kitchen that included pretty much everything one would need for a short or long stay. The location was quiet and walkable to several bars, eateries, and coffee shops. I was drawn to this property because of the location, the complete kitchen, and the covered parking. It did not let me down, but it should be noted that the covered parking is limited. Most of the spaces are not covered. I would definitely stay here again.
Brian
This was a great condo, spacious. It was only me and my son but would have fit our family of five easily. It is one of the older complexes but is kept up nicely and everything was in working order.
Mary
It was very roomy nice had a nice pool staff very nice close to Stater Brother Del Taco Mc Donald's Subway Ricks Restaurant Albertsons very relaxing had a barbecue grill that was fun they have bike rentals really enjoyed it didn't want to leave yet
susan
The room was clean and spacious. Kids enjoyed the pool. Adults enjoyed the kitchen. Covered parking kept the car cooler. Safe and quiet neighborhood. This was our second stay here and we will definitely stay here again.
Odila Andrea
My mom noticed all the details as how things were decorated and left available for us and she loved the place. My family and I were very comfortable and happy with the amenities included. Very quiet place which lets you enjoy even more! I would definitely come back.
Maribel
Two rooms, two baths, a room with two twins and one room with a queen bed. Super clean and quiet. Loved the pool, esp at night... so relaxing and perfect in the warm weather... Enjoyed our stay! We'll be back!
Celia
Muy limpio amables agradable fue mi segunda vez en hospedarme en este hermoso lugar super recomendado mucha tranquilidad y linpio
Mary
The property is a little older, but our room was updated and clean.
Ekaterina
As delightful as always! Coming to the Desert Villas is like coming to your little dacha in Palm Springs - so cozy and familiar. Our baby girl couldn't get enough of the heated pool, and we were enjoying ourselves in the peace, charm, and serenity of the beautiful setting. We come often and will make sure to be back soon!

Bell
Very nice rooms. Like an apartment. Very nice staff.
Steven
Very nice 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo. The decor is 70ish with yellow paint and lots of full length mirrors in every room. The pool is heated to 82 degrees, a nice perk since we were visiting in December. Some rooms on the 2nd floor have views of the mountains, but on the bottom floor, not so much.

Perla
Yes rooms, staff, and amenities were great
Angela
Great location. Nice rooms. Very comfortable. Only downside was mildew in the bathroom ceiling vent. And the second bedroom had no tv, plugs behind the bed and now ceiling light or fan in the room. Air conditioning doesn’t get very cold in the rooms. Very stuffy.

View of the mountains from the balcony was amazing!

Luis
Never had an encounter with staff, but the room was nice and clean. thank you.
Pamela
This is a very nice option especially if you are traveling with family or group and staying more than one night. There are two bedrooms two bathrooms and a kitchen. It’s basically a small apartment. The staff was great and everything was clean. Parking was easy and pool was nice also. Great for the price.
Jonathan
The whole place was nice felt cozy
Donna
Great bargain
The property is somewhat dated, but clean and comfortable. We were only there overnight but it had a lot of amenities for a family to enjoy an extended stay. Priced reasonably.
Christian
I would stay again.
Alexa
We felt the parking lot was well lit and safe. The kitchen was great!
Robert
Lovely staff and always on hand to help out. The Wi-Fi wasn’t too good in the room in fact, I couldn’t get it but sat outside and it was good out there.
Stephanie
This was a fantastic place to stay! We were just there for a quick overnight stay, so we did not have time to take advantage of the amenities like the pool, ping pong table or the bike rental, but I love that they were available! We DID get there in time to borrow a DVD to watch. Everyone was happy to not have to share the same room and it was nice to have kitchen facilities available to cook our own meals. It was adiquately stocked and very clean and quiet. The front desk staff and cleaning crew that we interacted with were friendly and helpful. All for about the same price as sharing one family hotel room. We would absolutely stay here again!
Maria
Great place to stay.
Shira
Comfortable apartment with everything we needed for the kitchen and the bath. Office staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating!
Dawn
Very nice space for the price!

When I go to Palm Springs I’d always stay at this property. Always a great experience!!
Kristen
Stayed there 3 times and loved it every time
yadira
Good
It was good, had everything we needed and family friendly, respectable and dignified. I would recommend it and would stay again.
Kristen
The room is large and always very clean
Melina
We stayed for 3 days, and unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. One day they were cutting and trimming trees, and there was constant noise all around. On another day they were blowing leaves, which created even more noise. The jacuzzi was unusable because it was far too hot, and although I asked for the temperature to be adjusted, nothing was done. The pool also did not seem clean, and by the third day it looked poorly maintained.
Housekeeping was lacking as well. The rooms were not cleaned daily, no fresh towels or coffee were provided, and the towels available were very old and overused. Overall, the stay did not meet expectations for comfort or service.

Amber
Maids left the apartment very clean when I arrived for check in, will definitely come back. Lady in the front was also very sweet !
Jessica
Nice property. Pool was great and quiet almost every night. Clean and just what we needed.
Isaac
Good: Great location, walkable and spacious units. Great for a traveling family. Also comes with a kitchen which was a major plus. Cleaning and maintenance staff did a great job.
Not Good: The AC unit was not great and could not keep the unit cool. Especially during the hottest times of the day. Evening/night was fine however It was 116 outside at points in the day so this is very important. Staff did not want to help until we asked numerous times to have it looked at. Wi-Fi also was not great.

Nice hotel
Rhonda
It was a nice area nice condo very clean and very quiet no issues
mariel
King size Bed was very comfortable , kitchenette complete , we baked a cake and made cookies, walked at night in the solar lighted path with access from our porch, so request a room that faces the river/ path. Really ver was dry though, as we came in the Summer. The pool was nice and clean. There was a lap pool only for adults , which was nice to enjoy more peacefully. There is bingo and activities, but we did not participate because we were out hiking or taking naps to recover from them. Hotel is close to nice restaurants/ shopping in Palm Springs by car. 15 min drive. Also close to grocery shopping by car.
Gloria
Couldn’t find the entrance to office fan was not working in kitchen just a few minor dislike, but other than that love this place it was quiet clean And markets and eateries close by
Kristen
It was great, but, if you plan on sleeping before midnight , dont get a room by the pool.
Elizabeth

Alena
Really enjoyed staying here! Came on a girls trip and it was a great location, great price and all the people there were so nice. It wasn’t crowded and we enjoyed pool Time as well as exploring the downtown area. It wasn’t modern, but it was great for our stay. Would definitely stay there again!
Irene
Area was great.
susan
Great stay at a nice place
The entire family had a great time. The rooms were comfortable, the property was quiet yet family friendly and the area felt safe. We enjoyed our two-night stay but would have been very happy to spend an entire week there. Check in process was a little confusing because we arrived late, after the office closed, but the outdoor phone was very helpful and all the information we needed was in the envelope that was waiting for us. We would definitely stay there again.
Joshua
Exceeded expectations!
This was the perfect place to stay for our family of five while visiting Palm Springs. Two bedroom unit was so roomy! Food, shops, gas everything was nearby. Stunning Mountain View’s, friendly staff, I could go on! The interior was slightly dated, but very clean. I hope not much changes about this place and it keeps being an affordable option. We will be back!

Good place for our family to stay, spacious suites, appreciated the great location.
